Decor Monday – Thrifty Shopping Blogs

I’ve been hooked on thrifty shopping blogs lately. They are so much fun and you can really find some really interesting pieces, that is if you can snap them up in time!

Here are some of my fave local, South African thrifty shopping blogs…

Lulu Shop
www.lulushop.co.za

Lulu is a great Durban based online shopping blog run by Irene Woodhams. Irene has been collecting thrifty finds for the past 35 years and has filled her home with all things cute, quirky and thrifty. She sells cute vintage items from luggage to lampshades, handbags to furniture. These items are posted on her blog and you can email her when an item catches your eye.

Take a look at her blog or try out her homemade apple tart recipe – yum!

Mooi Boutique

Mooi is a vintage store in Glenwood Durban. Their blog is full of cool thrifty finds and stuff available in their shop. I plan on visiting this spot soon to stock up on some treasures.

The Thrift Collection
thethriftcollection.blogspot.com

The Thrift Collection is a blog by Pippa Lynch – local stylist and jewellery buyer by day and forager by night. Pippa snaps up the cutest vintage finds and I love her dress collections. You’d better be quick though, her items sell like hot cakes!

The Thrift Collection features loads of little gems without the vintage price tag.

Mint
www.minttheshop.com

From a real life shop, to an online blog filled with little treasures, Mint is a great shop to shop for loved vintage finds. xx Trawls car boot markets and church sales to find the cutest vintage treasures. They sell mostly small items with the occasional cannot resist furniture. They recently had a gorgeous set of retro orange cast iron pots and pans that missed! Darn it! R800 for five items – what a score!

On the blog you’ll find lots of goodies including glass and enamel pieces, lights, mirrors, garden goodies and clocks. But you’d better be quick! The items are sold quicker than you can say Thrifty Find.

These are just some of the local blogs that sell cool, kitch goodies online, but I’m sure there are loads more. If you know of one, please comment below and tell us about it. We like spending our pennies on pretty one of a kind things.
